Recenzje

The book elegantly merges Asian American political and cultural history with theories of racial performance, queer performance, and psychoanalysis, expanding the horizon of each discipline it traverses. Model Minority Masochism is an excellent addition to any syllabus with Asian American subjects, as Rivera's focus on Asian American cultural politics after 1982 can serve as a counterpoint to the weight often given to 1968 and its wake in the field.
